Unhurried & Sustainable Motherhood.

The world is loud. Life is full. Moms need rest.

Hey Mama! Welcome to Mother of Rest. A community where moms are loved and invited to rest their mind, body, and soul. A space where moms are encouraged with Biblical Truth and taught how to practice life-giving rhythms of rest.

Children are a gift from the Lord! Motherhood is a beautiful blessing. AND if you’re not prepared, being a mom can be the most stressful, challenging, and lonely season of your life! But it doesn’t have to be!

If you’re like me, you adore your children and love being a mother, but you may have found yourself chronically exhausted and even reaching burnout. Maybe, like me, you entered this season with rose colored glasses and high expectations and found yourself deeply discouraged. I see you.

Fourteen years ago, I became a mother and had no idea how to be a mom or how to rest on the job. I actually did the opposite and ended up in the hospital when my baby was only five weeks old. It was terrible! I was doing too much and not prioritizing rest for my mind, body, or soul.

I wasn’t trying to get sick and reach burnout after a few short weeks of motherhood, but I did. I got a forced timeout in an ICU hospital bed because I believe God loves me and wanted to get my full attention.

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, “Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

My time in the hospital as a new mom was my “come to Jesus” moment. He met me in a powerful way because I was finally still, listening, and desperate to get back to my baby.

Over the past fourteen years, as a full-time stay-at-home wife, mom, and home educator, I’ve been on a journey with Jesus. I’ve tried TONS of different programs and products that promise to give moms rest (spent way too much money, too!). I’ve learned a few solid things that actually work and help me live freely and lightly as Jesus promises in Matthew 28.

I’d love to share what I’ve learned with you!

Do you desire to live a full life, serve God, and experience the Peace of Christ each day?
Do you want to be a mom who joyfully overflows with love to her family each day?
Do you want to live out this high calling of motherhood from a deeply rested place?

Start HERE.

I pray this community and the resources I’ve created bless you! I pray you feel loved and equipped to live out simple Rhythms of Rest. May you fill up so you can pour out and enjoy an unhurried and sustainable season of motherhood.

I have encouraging stories on my blog, BREATH PRAYER videos on YouTube & a GUIDED JOURNAL, 30 Days of Biblical Truth for Women, on Amazon. My prayer is that these resources help you connect with Jesus and rest in Him no matter what season of motherhood you’re in. He loves you so much!

His yoke is easy and His burden is light.
With love and blessings,
